Born in the Bronx, Mr. Clark was brought to Brooklyn as a child and moved to Staten Island when he was 36.

He worked as a paper box pressman for Union Camp for over 30 years, retiring in 1995.

Mr. Clark was a family man who loved his wife and cared deeply for his children. “He was the greatest to me,” said his wife of 44 years, the former Theresa Monteforte.

He enjoyed coaching a baseball team for NYPD officers assigned to Brooklyn’s 102nd Precinct.

Mr. Clark enjoyed trips to Atlantic City with his wife, playing cards and fishing with his children. He was also a fan of wrestling.

He was a parishioner of Immaculate Conception R.C. Church, Stapleton, where he was a volunteer.

In addition to his wife, Theresa, surviving are three sons, John, Joseph and Robert; four sisters, Francis Cotugno, Margaret Carollo, Anna Falcone and Fay Clark; seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

The funeral will be Friday from the Matthew Funeral Home, Willowbrook, with a mass at 11 a.m. in Immaculate Conception Church. Burial will be in Oceanview Cemetery, Oakwood.
